Email attachments

When attaching files to an email written on an iPad,  some pdf’s attach as files which must be opened to review while others have their text included in the body of the email.   These are PDFs originating in the cloud.  

Anyone know what’s up with this?

It might be because of the email app on the receiving end, not the sending end. The app might display the attachments as an offer of convenience.

what cloud service? Or is it more than one?

iCloud.  I write a document in pages then save it to the cloud as pdf because I don’t know if recipient can read a pages doc.  

Tom I’m not sure what you mean by email app on the receiving end.  I’m using the mail app on my iPad.  Does my system know the type of system it is sending to solely by the destination email address?  

I have a feeling this is more complicated than I care to investigate.  

I mean it may have something to do with how people read the mail you send to them. You can send me an example, and I might be able to puzzle it out. I am at tom@noglider.com

I think red is saying that the PDF appears in the email body as text when he's composing the new message.

 Is that true?

yes, that’s what’s happening.  What’s further frustrating is that one pdf will be an attachment, another will be within the email.   As far as I’m can tell both are PDFs created the same way.

 I've never seen that before - but I'm not an apple guy. What email app are you using? The default that comes with the ipad?
